I followed this tutorial, and replaced my screen successfully. There were a few things that were different which may help other people.

1. The ring which held the camera and rectangle which held the light sensor were not on the replacement screen I bought so I had to relocate these from the original screen as well. I uses the tweezers and a spudger to do this.

2. The large shield was not so easy to remove as it was glued down. I had to carefully work aorund the edge to free this.

Other than that - great tutorial. Thanks.

You have done a great service sir. The viddy was right on point. I've watched so many different videos and your video was definitely one of the easiest to follow. My fix didn't work out as smoothly as I would have liked so i sent it tohttp://thedeviceshop.com/ for my repair.

Allyson, I just finished replacing the screen on my iPhone 5 with a $40 screen and toolkit I got off eBay. I could not have done it without this walk-through. Your tips on how to gently remove and replace each part were critical to keeping my gorilla fingers from trashing these VERY sensitive parts. You did a great job! Thanks so much for posting this - saved me lots of $$ doing it myself!

Adam, www.Etradersupply.com has the iPhone 5 LCD and digitizer complete assembly with the power button already setup and ready to go. We got ours for less than most others and it was a quality Factory part shipped for free. And it was at our door in three days.

I clicked on the link at the beginning to buy the black LCD w/digitizer. Cost shows at $290. What?? Apple charges $229 for a replacement (w/o Applecare). Why would anyone go through all this trouble if the cost of the parts is more than just going to the Apple store? If the replacement parts were $100 it would be worth it. Ugh.

Yes, I too just dropped my phone and the glass panel shattered. I found the replacements on ebay for under $10, but have read that the LCD and the digitizer are fused together so one cannot be replaced without the other. Is this true? If not, how do you remove the digitizer from the LCD?

Any recommendations for replacing JUST the glass? I notice the parts are cheaper and I find that my digitizer appears to be fine and the capacitive touch is working just as it always did... the $299 that eTech wants for the full part is steep compared with the Apple Store wanting $229 to replace the whole phone.

I've pulled apart and repaired many an iPhone and iPod in my time, but ANY tips, walkthroughs or links, etc. would be appreciated and advice is always taken :)

From the Corning Gorilla Glass web page: "Due to customer agreements, we cannot identify all devices that feature Gorilla Glass. Your favorite device may include Gorilla Glass, even if you don't see it listed. Ask your manufacturer or retailer to learn more."

Also this article clearly shows that Apple does, indeed, use GG in its products.

Hmmm... I don't think I ever stated they did? In the video my words are "even though they are supposedly using gorilla glass" - again, i never said "Apple is using gorilla glass" - I gave you a link to where i got my assumptions that they are. I also never once said in the article that the screen was 100% definite made of gorilla glass. Most news about apple is "hearsay" as apple is extremely secretive. Nothing is 100% unless apple states it. I'd figure since you obviously read an apple-centric site, you would have surely realized that?

This is based on a job creation page and hearsay? Gorilla Glass is a sold product of Corning. If Apple were in fact using their product, Corning wouldn't keep it a secret. Not does Apple's display share the same fracture properties as other phones using real Gorilla Glass. Look at reports of people dropping other phones. GG shatters differently compared to every other shatter of an iPhone screen. I have broken both. Both very hard displays. Possibly Apple shares a tempering process with Corning. But that doesn't make it Gorilla Glass, which would explain Cornings reluctance to say that Apple uses it. I'm sorry ... but I don't work on hearsay. And I don't think a professional blogger should either.
